Argentina: Alberto and Cristina make joint appearance again

Saturday, June 4th 2022 - 10:30 UTC



Argentine President Alberto Fernández and Vice-President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner (CFK) spoke to each other once again Friday during the celebration of the state-run oil company YPF's 100th anniversary.

. . .

“Alberto, there is a national sport of seizing the Central Bank reserves with different mechanisms, especially with a gap like the one we have. I told you that you had the pen. What I ask you to do is to use it, to use it with those who have to give things to the country. That does not mean fighting, but it is necessary, and that society knows the effort we have to make and that they have to make,” the former President said.

CFK fired a heavy salvo against her successor and Alberto's predecessor Mauricio Macri. She had a video played in which Macri's Economy Minister Nicolás Dujovne talked about the debt and the problems left by the Kirchnerite government in 2015 to access the credit market.


“Cristina is also right. In the talk I had with the president of Techint I raised my concern so that they make their contribution. Making money is not indecent. What is indecent is that the profit only remains in the hands of a few and poverty is distributed to millions,” the President stressed.
